I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation. One of the fundamental objectives of Marxism is to remove interest, the factor of individual interest, and gain, from people's psychological motivations. Marx was preoccupied both with economic factors and with their repercussions on the spirit. If communism isn't interested in this too, it may be a method of distributing goods, but it will never be a revolutionary way of life.
If sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities, it's because they lead to the knowledge that you own your own body (and with it your own voice), and that's the most revolutionary insight of all.
It pays in England to be a revolutionary and a bible-smacker most of one's life, and then come round.
It is a curious fact that with every great revolutionary movement the question of 'free love' comes into the foreground.
The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations that we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us.
Learning, traveling and comparing the world, writing outraged poetry, producing revolutionary art, demonstrating, holding the older generation-including their own parents and grandparents, responsible for destroying this country, and finally aiming at building a just, kind and beautiful nation called 'Indonesia'. This is much better and glorious than sitting in Starbucks, staring like idiots at uniformed smart phones, and basically killing ones life. . . and the lives of others. . . for nothing.
I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.
The time has come to reclaim the stolen harvest and celebrate the growing and giving of good food as the highest gift and the most revolutionary act.
I'd say that I think the most revolutionary act that you can commit in our society today is to be happy.
I was an avowed professional revolutionary by the time I was 15.
I want incremental improvements. There's the record of all the revolutionary and violent change and extremism in general - it's dreadful.
The revolutionary government is the despotism of liberty against tyranny
They must move from a psychological state of victimization to a psychological state of accepting responsibility. The Palestinians must leave behind their revolutionary adolescence and demonstrate that they have reached political maturity.
If you cry ''Forward'' you must be sure to make clear the direction in which to go. Don't you see that if you fail to do that and simply call out the word to a monk and a revolutionary, they will go in precisely opposite directions?
I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto. But it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom.
Revolutionaries must proclaim their ideas courageously. . . and express their intentions so that no one is deceived.
I don't think President Obama has been that revolutionary in reaching out to ethnic communities. President Reagan did a lot for the black community that people don't realize.
For then only will you be strong, when you cherish the laws, and when the revolutionary attempts of lawless men shall have ceased.
I'm not at all embarrassed to be a revolutionary.
When I was 12 years old, my pastor came to the church: Dr. Fredrick Samson. And that was revolutionary because he mentored me and I got a chance to see up close the impact of a rhetorical genius.
